Why It Matters: Hauser & Wirth is showcasing a solo exhibition by the acclaimed American artist, Cindy Sherman. The eponymously titled show bypasses the scenic backdrops she usually employs, in favor of a new series of digital collages created through self portraits, that Sherman pieced together with various wigs, costumery, and make up. A Prolific Photographic Career: For over four decades, Sherman has used photography and self-portraiture as a means to interrogate the theme of identity. Her breakthrough 1970s series, Untitled Film Stills, consisted of 70 black-and-white photographs of herself, which she used to criticize and dismantle female stereotypes largely found in advertisements and film, such as the bombshell, fashion victim, or aspiring career girl.

Read the full interview below. Why It Matters: Having first gravitated towards art by recreating his favorite cartoon characters, Kristofferson San Pablo never quite put the colored pencils down, per say. With an early business acumen in mind, San Pablo used to draw images of Sonic the Hedgehog and sell them to friends, which he’d use to buy video games and comic books. The characters within these worlds would, subconsciously, serve as templates for him to create his own set of figures and scenes. Coming to America: "The Filipino-American artist immigrated to America when he was four, after his parents were able to work enough jobs to send their kids to the US. Growing up in Southern California’s Inland Empire (IE), San Pablo recalls their being not much to do but watch movies and television, as well as hang out at friends houses — many of which were DJs, graffiti writers and B-Boys."
